Korean idol Mir from boy band MBLAQ has undergone surgery for his back injury, according to his agency J.Tune Entertainment on Thursday.
"Mir underwent surgery yesterday after he was diagnosed with early stage of disc herniation," a PR official was quoted as saying. "The surgery went well and Mir is currently receiving treatment in the hospital."
Mir had been hospitalized earlier this week when his back pain worsened after his appearance on an entertainment program.
Mir made his debut in the five-member boy band MBLAQ (Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality) in 2009 with their single album "JUST BLAQ." They followed it up with their second single "Y" in May 2009.
